I learned as soon as I got into Bitcoin not to use Gox, but even I didn't expect total bankruptcy. I mean sure, the warning signs were there, but how does half a billion dollars disappear?! I half-expected most of you who poured money into Gox during the final days to make out like bandits.

I guess a 500% discount was too good to be true. Who'da thunk it?

Same here. I did some quick looking and it became very clear not to use them. Hence, I did not use them. Happy about it now.

I was very very tempted too, but knowing it was too risky decided against it at the last minute (litterly seconds before I pushed the enter button). I know someone that put in $20K thinking he was going to come out with $100-200K and till thinks GOX will somehow magically return the coins. Guess he's out of luck now.

so what is currently the best exchange to trade btcs on? I want to get into daytrading, but not sure what do people view as safest/most reliable exchange? I'm thinking of mixing it up on 2-3 exchanges evenly to minimize risks

Bitcoin is a long term investment. I recommend people who want to get into investing in Bitcoin stop using it as a day trading tool. I realize my suggestion will be ignored en masse, but its that nonsense that contributes to the volatility and subsequent LACK OF SUCCESS of bitcoin in the world. Not that any of you day traders give a sh*t ...
